Description

fwtchrq is tool which watches files and directories in a given path and reports their modifications based on the Epeios framework.

fwtchrq uses several threads to accelerate the exploration of the tree. The maximum amount of three can be set with the ThreadAmountMax entry. When the value of 0 is given for this entry, then the exploration is made in the main thread (that is, no other thread is launched).
